Aylesbury Liberal Democrats Unveil Ambitious Town Council Manifesto

Aylesbury Liberal Democrats Unveil Ambitious Town Council Manifesto
The Aylesbury Liberal Democrats are proud to present our manifesto for the upcoming Town Council elections, setting out a bold vision to improve our town, support local businesses, and invest in our community.
A Town Full of Life and Culture
We will continue to provide a full year-round programme of free and fully accessible events for residents, including Parklife Weekend with Proms, Pride in the Park, Aylesbury on Sea, and the St George’s Day Parade, fostering a vibrant town and boosting visitor numbers.
Backing Local Businesses
Our management of the Christmas Lights display and switch-on event has been a great success. We will continue hosting business roundtables and employ a Town Centre Manager to promote economic growth and footfall.
Investing in Our Youth
We are committed to providing safe spaces, activities, support, and both volunteering and paid employment opportunities for young people to help them develop essential skills and experiences.
A Greener Aylesbury
We will maintain our dedication to environmental projects, including litter picking, tree planting, bug hotels, wildlife-friendly areas, cabinet box painting, and the much-loved Aylesbury in Bloom initiative.
Protecting and Enhancing Community Assets
We will continue investing in the three community centres we rescued from Buckinghamshire Council, as well as the Railway Club, which now serves local groups and organisations. We will also work to take over and improve neglected town assets, particularly recreation grounds that have suffered from years of Tory mismanagement.
Holding Buckinghamshire Council to Account
We will keep the pressure on Buckinghamshire Council to deliver long-promised infrastructure, including link roads, additional doctors, school places, a new cemetery, and more allotments.
Boosting Grassroots Sport
We have already refurbished facilities at Bowler’s Field and improved drainage on pitches. We will continue working with Aylesbury United and Aylesbury Vale Dynamos to create a new Community Sports Hub.
Supporting Community Groups
Our grants programme will continue to provide essential funding to local community groups and charities, ensuring they can keep serving Aylesbury’s residents during difficult times.
Preserving Aylesbury’s Heritage
We remain committed to saving the Old Court Buildings and repurposing them for greater community use, helping to revitalise the town centre.
Delivering Value for Money
We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents while ensuring financial responsibility. We make every penny of the £2.57 per week (Band D) council tax contribution count, ensuring efficient and effective services for the community.
The Aylesbury Liberal Democrats are ready to build a better future for our town. Vote for a council that puts the community first.
